Story By: WORLD RACING GROUP – CONCORD, NC – The 15th running of the World of Outlaws World Finals at The Dirt Track at Charlotte includes a fourth day, an increase in purses and a unique, fan-friendly format.
With more than $600,000 up for grabs during the championship-deciding event Nov. 2-5 for the World of Outlaws NOS Energy Drink Sprint Cars, World of Outlaws CASE Construction Equipment Late Models and Super DIRTcar Series Big Block Modifieds, each series will race three times during the event. Sprint Cars will run on Wednesday and Thursday, Late Models on Wednesday and Friday, Big Block Modifieds on Thursday and Friday and all three race during Saturday night’s season-ending spectacular.
“Adding a day to the World of Outlaws World Finals is going to create much more opportunity for fans to engage with their favorite drivers during the event, plus it creates a huge season finale on Saturday night with more on the line than ever before,” World of Outlaws and DIRTcar Racing CEO Brian Carter said. “It certainly looks as if our championship battles are going to go down to the wire so the intensity on Saturday with more money and the championships at stake will create an unbelievable atmosphere for our fans.”
While the weekday races will be run under each series’ standard format, all three series will be earning points toward Saturday, where points earned during the Wednesday, Thursday and Friday events determine the heat race lineups for Saturday’s huge season finale.
